Early in the morning, Zong Yu once again became the envoy to Jiangdong, and the two clippers were ready.

From Jiangling, take the Yangtze River through Baqiu, Chibi to Xiakou, the distance is 900 miles; From Jiangling to Xiakou, there is only 600 miles to go around the Hanshui.

The smile on Zong Pre's face was a little reluctant, and he always thought about last night's fire.

Mi Fang threw herself into the fire to die, and many things that could have been explained became headless cases, which would make many people suffer unnecessary suspicion, and also made many people with unclean hands and feet secretly rejoice.

Guan Yu was more strict in managing Jingzhou, but this had nothing to do with Zong's pre-judgment, he followed Zhang Fei into Shu.

Jiangling is almost the most important economic and trade hub in the Yangtze River basin, and it is strange that Jiangling does not have corruption.

Forget about normal corruption, even the siege equipment appeared in the hands of the Jiangdong Army, not to mention the swords built by other Seiko.

Every knife and every sword has an inscription on the craftsman and overseer, and the evidence can be described as piling up when Maicheng captured so many Wu troops in the first battle.

Mi Fang is likely to be dragged into the water by corrupt Jingzhou officials, Mi Fang is dissatisfied and dissatisfied, but Mi Fang does not need to be corrupt.

On the one hand, I can't see the benefits of corruption, and on the other hand, the Mi family has received a lot of rewards many times.

And...... Mi Fang can also do business, and Liu Bei did not prohibit Mi Fang from engaging in his old business.

Zong Yu pondered all the way about the turmoil that Mi Fang's death might cause, and it took him three days to meet Sun Quan at Chaisang's mouth.

The express delivery from Xu Du to Chaisangkou only took two days, and Zong Yu had just arrived at the mainstream of Hanshui, and Man Zhong found Sun Quan with a new round of negotiation conditions.

Cutting off the southern land of Huai, such a big regression caused Sun Quan to be puzzled, and he discussed with his close ministers.

Zhuge Jin speculated: "Man Boning may have concealed it, and the ministers expected that Ma Mengqi and Tian Xiaoxian supervised the troops out of Nanyang, and they may have broken Xu Huang's army." The Jingzhou army coveted the Central Plains, and the Wei people were afraid that our two families would join the Northern Expedition, so they cut the southern land of Huai to reward the supreme. ”

Sun Quan was a little proud, and when he saw that others had no constructive proposals, he expounded his strategic plan in public: "Liu Zizhuang's strategy to defraud Huainan can be described as a success, and Liu Bei has bad intentions, so he will send a large army to ask for it." Repelling Liu Bei made him know that Jiangdong was not what he could do, and he would turn to attack Wei. ”

After experiencing several purge storms, Sun Quan was either from Jiangbei or a disciple of the clan, and carefully instructed: "At that time, Gu and Liu Bei will sit together and conclude a no-war agreement." Liu Bei attacked Wei, and the Wei people were too weak to defend themselves, and they were even more powerless to fight alone. The generals begged the mountains to enrich the population, and the outside planted Huainan, so that they could watch the changes in the world. ”

"Cao and Liu competed with each other, helping the weak and hoeing the strong, balancing their momentum, and depleting their national strength."

"When the soldiers are well fed, when Cao Liu is weak, he can fight for the world."

The international situation is becoming clearer and clearer, and Sun Quan has also found the direction of his own existence and development.

The Jiangdong generals also have no better choice, after annexing most of the Jiangdong families and wealthy families, which of the generals does not have thousands of servants?

There were fewer than 1,000 people in the middle of the army, more than 10,000 people in Heqi, and more than 10,000 people in Heqi's influence.

Most of the generals' troops were between three or five thousand, and Sun Quan added the powerful troops from the family to these generals to help him run in.

Just one Lu family seized nearly 20,000 people from Lu Yi's family in Tuntian, which was 20,000 Shanyue Ding Zhuang and gave Lu Yi Ding Zhuang to Tuntian.

Sun Quan eats a mouth full of oil, and the generals of Jiangdong are also rich in their pockets, and there is less competition from the Jiangdong family, which can ensure that the career of his children is not suppressed.

On a certain level, after the defeat of Jingzhou, the power directly under Sun Quan did not decrease but increased, and that part of the free power was digested by him and the Jiangdong generals.

With the current strength of the Jiangdong generals, they will definitely be treated politely when they go to Wei, but they will be deprived of their tribes and fiefdoms; Going to Jingzhou is the same fate, it is difficult to retain the current transcendent, free status, and economic ability.

Sun Quan is inseparable from the Jiangdong generals, and the Jiangdong generals are also inseparable from Sun Quan, and the two sides are tied together.

There is no reason to betray unless you are willing to give up all kinds of transcendent status.

Liu Bei hit the door of the house, and Sun Quan was not afraid that the generals would not be able to die.

Under this mentality, two days later, Zong Pre took Xu Huang's head to Chai Sangkou to meet Sun Quan.

In the past two days, Sun Jiao's eldest son, Sun Yin, went north with Zhou Tai, stationed in Hefei, and sent good news; Zhou Tai continued north along Feishui to Shouchun.

Hefei was in hand, Sun Quan's hanging heart fell to the ground, and his sense of security increased greatly.

Xu Huang's head was circulated and inspected, and Sun Quan praised it with a lot of leisure: "The pioneers of the Northern Expedition of the Han King have made meritorious contributions, and the Central Plains must have been shaken." It can be seen that the strong and prosperous Han Dynasty is the crown of today. ”

Sun Quan said as he picked up a silk letter from the table and sent it to Zong Pre by the waiter, with a slightly regretful tone: "Lai Han's army is brave, and Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, is frightened, and urgently recruits Zhang Wenyuan to withdraw his troops." and cut Huainan for his daughter's dowry, so as to make peace with his family. Deyan, Huainan can be obtained alone, so why bother to increase the casualties of the army again? ”

"Marquis Wu, the fief of Wei is in the north, and the daughter of the King of Wei, how can she use Huainan Han soil as a dowry?"

Zong Pre was annoyed: "Wu Hou is the land of Huainan, and he sells two pro-alliances, so he is not afraid of the world's heroes laughing?" ”

"Deyan, if you help the King of Han, the King of Han may make the land of Huainan alone?"

Sun Quan asked disapprovingly, and said: "Han lost its deer, and the heroes fought together, and now there are only three left." In the past, Han Gaozu could fight, but now my grandson Zhongmou can't fight? Although the king of Han is surnamed Liu, how can there be an immortal person and an immortal country in the world? ”

"Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is already a great fortune. Providence is not in Yan Liu, and there are all kinds of disasters in the Later Han Dynasty, which make the common people suffer. Therefore, heroes rose up to save lives. ”

"Now that the King of Han wants to rejuvenate Yan Liu, doesn't he want to be an enemy of Heaven?"

"I thought that the kings and ministers of the Han Dynasty should obey the mandate of heaven and live for the rest of their lives. When the true Son of Heaven comes into the world, he can also enjoy the gifts of the two kings and three keeping. ”

Zong Yu shook his head and laughed, raised Cao Pi's marriage contract in his hand and threw it on the ground in public, raising his feet and stepping on it: "If the King of Han really follows the words of Wu Hou, then in less than three years, Wu Hou will be a guest in Xu Du and watch for Cao Pi's ministers." The foreign ministers thought that the Wei people would judge Wu Hou as if they were horses. ”

"Bold!"

Xu Sheng took the lead in drawing his sword and stood up and scolded sharply, the sword was unsheathed by a foot, and the rest of the generals pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword and glared angrily at the sect.

Sun Quan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Deyan doesn't have to say angry words. After being lonely in Huainan, it has its own place to play. Today, the Han Dynasty has a prosperous army, and the Wei country is vast, the population is solid, and the heritage is long, which is not something that can be obtained in a hurry. In the future, the Han army's northern expedition will rarely respond to the Wu army. Lonely and Deyan, the coming day is long. ”

Sun Quan said and closed his eyes: "Today, the king of Han also knows Gu's mind." Deyan doesn't have to take advantage of his tongue, if the king of Han is not angry, he can raise troops to fight. ”

Zong pre-bowed, took Xu Huang's head from the hand of the guard on one side, and turned to leave.

Sun Quan watched Zong Pre and the two deputy envoys leave, and said to the left and right: "Summons He Qi and Han Dang, be sure to stop the enemy for more than a month." ”

Zhuge Jin came out and arched his hand: "Yes." ”

Sun Quan raised his hand and pointed to another copy of the seal letter from Xu Huang and other prisoners: "Everything will be handed over to Man Boning, and he will be asked to urge Huainan County to deliver it as soon as possible." ”

It is true that Huainan has become a no-man's land, but there are too many things that make people greedy.

There are still populations in Hefei, Shaobi, Shouchun, Xiapi and southern Guangling, and I don't know how much can be left.

Before consuming the sharp energy of the Han army, Cao Pi did not dare to break the contract.
